Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen. I'm flying to ICN (Seoul) from YVR (Vancouver), and am going to be transferring at SFO. I'd like to know if I would have to collect my baggage at SFO and drop-off them to ICN. Also, what are the specific procedures I'll be experiencing at SFO for transfer to ICN? Thanks!

As long as both of your tickets are bought on the same reservation then you do not have to collect your baggage at SFO. You will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in Vancouver. If both of your tickets are on United or United and Asiana, then all you have to do in SFO is walk from your arrival gate in Terminal 3 to your departure gate in the G concourse of the International Terminal - there is a walkway inside security connecting them.

My first flight from San Diego to SFO with United lands at 1:50pm, and I have to make a connecting flight from SFO to Las Vegas with Virgin by 2:50pm. I won't be checking any bags, just carry-on. Do I have to go through security again since I will still be traveling domestically? Will I have enough time to make my second flight?

Flying to Paris on United from SFO at 2:40 pm. I have a choice of two connections from LAX, both United. The first arrives SFO at 12:35 pm, but, per Google Flights, "often delayed 30+minutes". The second option arrives SFO at 1:28 pm, but has no notation about delays. Which would you recommend?

UA schedule changes have reduced my SFO connection time to 1hr 30 min arriving from Sydney and changing to Houston flight, all on UA. I have Global Entry and will be checking a bag. Is this doable? Thank you

I bought connecting ticket from United Airlines (not separately). Kansai - SFO - Chicago. Will arrive in SFO at 10:35 am and should be departing to Chicago at 11:55. Is it enough time to transfer (1 hour and 20 minutes)? Thanks

I'm going to INC Korea making one stop at SFO and I have 1 hr 20min to transfer. landing on terminal 2 boarding area D and need to go international terminal, boarding area A. is it possible? do I need to get through security point again or there's connection without it? I better take an airtrain? no idea.. need help so bad. thanx

I'm traveling from MNL to LAS with layovers at NRT and SFO.
MNL - NRT via ANA then NRT - SFO via UA finally SFO to LAS via Skywest/United Express
I'll arrive in SFO at 10:40am then connecting flight to LAS is at 12:55pm
All tickets purchased under one reservation.
Just want to know what I need to do and where I need to go once I'm in SFO in order to catch my connecting flight to LAS. I have my 7 yo kid with me so I wanna make sure I don't miss the connection. Thanks.

In SFO you will go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, re-check your bags at the re-check desk, then go through security and to your departure gate. Everything is pretty close together.

HI, I am arriving at 9:56 A.M on Thursday in SFA from Atlanta. Connection to ICN Seoul Korea at 10:55 Both flights are by United airlines. 59 min will be enough?, Do I need pick up lugguage for recheck? I need pass thur security again?
I'd be appreciated at your advice.

All you have to do is walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate. You don't have to go through security or do anything with your baggage on your way to Seoul. There is a walkway inside security connecting United's domestic gates with their gates in the International Terminal.

My family is travelling in January arriving on Singapore Airlines at 1110 in SFO, next flight is at 1335 Southwest Airlines going LIT. Family of green card holders with 7 yr. old American citizen. Do we have enougn time?

No, I really don't think that is enough time unless your Singapore flight arrives quite early. You will have to transfer your bags yourself from the International Terminal to Southwest's check-in counter.

Hi, I am arriving on an Emirates flight at 13:15 on a Thursday and have a connection with Vrigin USA to Las Vegas at 15:00. I am on a UK passport with probably just hand luggage, have I got enough time to make the connection?

I'm traveling from LAX-LHR w/ a connecting flight in SFO on Virgin Atlantic. Flight was booked togehter. Will I have enough time to make my connecting flight? Will baggage be tagged for final destination?

Arriving from FRA to SFO in the afteroon (2:40 p.m.), would 115 minutes be enough to catch Alaska Airlines to SEA (final destination YYJ)? Flights are on separate tickets, one checked bag. Does Alaska Airline to SEA depart from International Terminal A?
